My game came with a few mods that I”ll list here: Klingon Mult-ball starts with a “what the hell was that” call out from Bones and a great lightshow as Klingon battleships come out of warp. My machine came with a shaker motor, the first in the game room, which provides satisfying feedback especially during one of the best “pinball moments” in the game, the Klingon Multi-ball. The third flipper exists mainly to hit the satisfying Warp ramp which can be combo-ed at most three times if you are very fast, earning a chance at an extra ball.
Game play on Star Trek is fast with all kinds of unexpected surprises as bounces can fire the ball straight down the middle which makes the player thankful for liberal ball saves and the ability to collect shields for a recuse. As players attack an oncoming threat with three action-centered flippers, the all-LED playfield will captivate onlookers and enhance the player experience with features like phaser flashes and photon torpedoes.There are six missions for casual players matched by 18 complex treks to immerse enthusiast players deeper in the game.The playfield features seven multicolored LED paths that lead gamers on easy-to-understand color-coded routes.Star Trek is Stern’s first all-LED Pro Model.The “punch it” button in the middle of the lockdown bar tempts the player to take their fingers off the flipper buttons to fire photons at the Vengence. The main toy, the large Vengence ship provides feedback by vibrating and shaking as it takes hits, meanwhile underneath the ship a drop target guards a magnetic ball lock and a solenoid that actually shoots the ball back at the player at certain moments in the game. The ball is completely crazy in this game often hitting the glass and otherwise becoming airborne and landing in all kinds of unexpected places. Next to Lord of the Rings, Star Trek stands out as a very bright game (you’d almost expect the JJ Abrams lens flares to appear) and very fast with lots of flow provided by the plastic ramps and third flipper. The flowy, fast, and wild gameplay proved to be popular with pinball fans earning the game a reissue in 2015 as a vault edition.
Stevie Richie’s Star Trek pinball machine was released in 2013 around the time of the second JJ Abrams reboot of the Star Trek movies featuring Chris Pine as Kirk in an alternative timeline that would become known as the Kelvin Timeline. So when a newer machine with a family favorite theme came up only 15 minutes from the house, I jumped at the chance to convince the wife that we needed to add it to the collection. Out here in the sticks there are not a lot of pinball machines that come up for sale locally.
We live in what is known in the hobby as a pinball desert. A 2015 vault edition, pro level, Steve Richie designed Stern Star Trek found a spot in the limited capacity game room squeezing into the line up next to Stern Lord of the Rings, Gottlieb Wipeout, Bally Hangglider and Gottlieb World Series. This Covid Christmas season the home game room gained it’s most recent and most modern pinball machine.
